Rainbow Chicken is the poultry business of RCL FOODS, and vacancies are advertised and processed by RCL FOODS rather than by individual sites. This matters in Rustenburg, because the only Rustenburg contact RCL FOODS publishes is a staff shop, not a recruitment office.
Task scope
This covers finding and applying for Rainbow Chicken or RCL FOODS work in the Rustenburg area, and checking whether a job offer that claims to come from the company is genuine. It does not cover consumer product complaints, which use the customer care line instead.
Route
- Official career opportunities portal: rclfoods.com/careeropportunities/
- Enquiry form, select the Careers query type: rclfoods.com/contact-us/
- RCL FOODS customer care: 0860 103 764
- Report recruitment fraud, Tip-offs Anonymous: 0800 00 3224
- Internal Audit, urgent assistance: 031 242 8600
Requirements
RCL FOODS warns publicly that criminal syndicates pose as the company and offer recruitment on its behalf for a fee. A genuine application never requires payment. The company states that its only website is rclfoods.com and that its email addresses end only in @rclfoods.com, and it names @rclfoodsconsumers.com as a domain used in fraud against it. Treat any offer from a similar looking domain, or any request for money to secure a job, as fraudulent.
Steps
Apply through the career opportunities portal rather than through a person offering to place you. If you want to ask about work in the Rustenburg area specifically, use the enquiry form and choose the Careers query type and North West province. Note that the Rustenburg address RCL FOODS publishes, 4a Mangaan Street, Zinnevillie Industrial Site, Rustenburg, 0300, on 014 597 5100, is a staff shop selling products to employees, so it is not a recruitment line and should not be called about vacancies.
Escalation
If you have been approached by someone claiming to recruit for Rainbow Chicken or RCL FOODS for a fee, the company asks that you report it to the South African Police Service and call its Tip-offs Anonymous hotline on 0800 00 3224. That hotline is run by an external whistleblowing provider rather than by the company itself, which is what allows reports to stay anonymous. For urgent assistance the company lists its Internal Audit department on 031 242 8600. Money already paid to a fake recruiter is a criminal matter for the SAPS.
